"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3206871\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, this member would know full well that our government has made record investments into Newfoundland and Labrador in terms of infrastructure. We have recently assisted with their new hydroelectric power aspirations in Newfoundland and Labrador, and I know that is very important to that province. We bought new ferries to provide for people who need to navigate between Newfoundland and the mainland, and we are proud of that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3206872\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member seemed quite outraged at points in his speech. I know I was outraged and disappointed when I heard his comments about how he thought his pension should be enriched for being a member of Parliament in this place. That is out of touch with most Canadians, but I think he is also out of touch when it comes to infrastructure investment. No party has pledged more in infrastructure dollars than this government under this <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a>, and that member's party has voted against it each and every time.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3206871\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 sait fort bien que notre gouvernement a fait des investissements record dans les infrastructures \u00e0 Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Nous avons r\u00e9cemment aid\u00e9 cette province \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser ses aspirations en mati\u00e8re d'exportation d'hydro-\u00e9lectricit\u00e9, et je sais que ce nouveau projet est tr\u00e8s important pour elle. Nous avons achet\u00e9 de nouveaux traversiers qui font aujourd'hui la navette entre Terre-Neuve et le continent, et nous en sommes fiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3206872\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 m'a paru vraiment scandalis\u00e9 \u00e0 certains moments dans son discours. Quant \u00e0 moi, j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 scandalis\u00e9 et d\u00e9\u00e7u de l'entendre r\u00e9clamer une hausse de sa pension de d\u00e9put\u00e9. Il est d\u00e9connect\u00e9 de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de la plupart des Canadiens, et je pense qu'il est \u00e9galement d\u00e9connect\u00e9 de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 lorsqu'il parle des investissements dans les infrastructures. Aucun parti ne s'est engag\u00e9 \u00e0 fournir plus d'argent pour les infrastructures que le gouvernement dirig\u00e9 par le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> actuel, tandis que le parti de ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 a vot\u00e9 contre ces investissements chaque fois.</p>"
